Throughout the broad majority of the press conference, Sonya was on autopilot. She’d practiced the speech a number of times, ready to make adjustments on the fly if necessary as the mood in the room shifted. It was important to keep the audience engaged regardless of how ‘official’ the proc...

Making a few changes and updates since it occurs to me that I haven't friggin touched my tiers in, uh, forever.
The Schemer tier will be reduced to $3 and will still allow access to Imperious. It'll basically be a tier allowing people to read it before it drops on the free sites.

The rain fell, thunder rumbled, and Anna stood in her front yard looking up at the sky. Water streamed down her face, her eyes closed as she savored the feelings inside of her. The sated bloodlust made her feel satisfied in a way that she couldn’t fully quantify. Her injuries seemed to hurt les...

Anna slowly came to, an all encompassing ache permeating her body as her eyelids fluttered open. Her head swam and she had to struggle to remember what had happened to her. Everything felt fuzzy and she wondered for a moment if she’d had too much to drink. She shuddered, squinting at the far wa...

Anna’s chest rose and fell as she looked down at the shattered skull of the skeleton. Her fingers trembled around the handle of the bat. She licked her lips, tasting the sweat that was already beading on them. She hadn’t been this active in a long time. It’s dead… right? She paus...

There was a moments pause as she reflected on the thing in front of her. Her instinctive sense of uncanny began throwing up red flags. She considered drawing out Firestorm and just incinerating it. Kill it with fire. Yeah, that was a good idea. She straightened a little and her fingers twitched, ...

Sonya dug the fingers of her free hand into the ceiling, holding herself in place as she examined the boss. The core creature of the dungeon lounged in its corpulent glory, its sizeable gut so unwieldy that she wondered if it was even capable of standing on its own. She dismissed that notion, und...

It had been a while since she’d taken a day off just for herself. The convention had been weeks ago and to be honest she really hadn’t felt up to getting out there and getting some fresh air. Helping Sonya always took priority, so she’d thrown herself into her work both as a caretaker and a...

The text floated in front of Anna, her chest rising and falling with each panicked breath. She just stared at it as the minutes ticked down from forty five minutes to forty four. She tried to rationalize what she was looking at. It was fully legible and free-floating. If she turned her head the w...

Sonya sat in her office, staring at the small cluster of screens. The brief call with Bernetta had come and gone, Veloce would be in the country the next day. Sonya scrolled through the list of registered heroes. There were a few names she recognized, most of them on the right side of the ...

Sonya held a two liter bottle of soda aloft, standing dramatically next to the television. She was feeling more than a little smug. Her performance had gone well, and it seemed only right to celebrate a little. She cradled the bottle and looked down at it before looking up at Amos, Colin, and Mar...

This is a Pilot I wrote on a whim, it has no relation to Broker in any way and I just thought I'd share it since it was fun to write and I kinda decided to based on a conversation in the discord server. The genre is System Apocalypse Litrpg. No idea if I'm going to go further with it but if the r...

Rage.
Even as he sat down, he wasn’t in control of his own body. Moments of clarity came through now and then, but every day it felt like he lost a little more of himself. His words weren’t his own even as his thoughts remained firmly in his grasp. The leash was loose, though, the colla...

Ozzie crept up to the rail as the shouting continued outside. He glanced over at the hound on his left which was shuffling forward like some kind of military dog. On his left, the thief was creeping along as well, emulating his own ‘stealthy’ approach in its own rather loosey-goosey way. He w...

Ishtar stood in front of the screen, her mask strangely not reflecting the glowing surface, even in the dark. The call she was making was a long time coming, she hadn’t had enough time to check in and it was better late than never. The room, a small office adjacent to her bedroom in the apartme...

The flickering of the portal intensified, the pylons glowing brighter and brighter. Every time she saw a tiny wisp of light drift away from the portal she felt her heart tighten just a little bit, only to be relieved when she recognized it as nothing more than runoff. Next to her, standing as sta...

Magic was hard. Sure, the spellforms came to her with the instincts built into her ability. It was like being given a manual or in this case, a spell book. She had a mountain of spells she’d never even tried before. Hundreds of different ways to use the blue energy that permeated her body and g...

Sonya was like a statue. If Marta hadn’t known better, if she’d only known the persona she cultivated as a businesswoman and socialite, she would have been baffled. To be honest she was still a little troubled by the behavior. The woman she’d chosen to stay beside, the woman she’d endured...

Apparently, word of Ozzie’s untimely demise hadn’t quite reached all ears just yet. While the cops certainly knew about it, his landlord, thankfully, did not. Not that it didn’t make knocking on the man’s door in the middle of the night any less awkward. Wearing a hodgepodge of...
